- I recently acquired this monitor after reading good reviews in Macworld
- and Macuser. My first impression has been disappointing. It seems a bit
- dim, and there is a definite pinkish-grey cast increasing in density on
- the right side of the screen, particularly in the lower right corner. There
- is also a bit of 'parellelogram' distortion, with the lower left and right
- corners shifted a bit to the right compared to the top corners of the
- image (this cannot be corrected by the pincushion control since it is an
- asymetric problem). Lastly, tapping the monitor lightly, or even popping in
- in a floppy disk into the Mac below creates a rippling effect on the screen,
- particularly on the right side.
- A colleague suggested that the uneven display brightness may improve as
- the screen burns in, but given this is a fairly expensive display, I'd be
- interested in knowing whether I am being overly critical in my expectations
- for a 16" color Mac display, or whether I have a bum tube or adjustment
- needed, or whether I should send it back and try something like the Sony
- 1604s. Thanks in advance to any and all feed back. - Peter Boag
